  1. Re:It's not limited to car radios. on U.K. Pirate Broadcasters Steal Car Radio Listeners · · Score: 1

    But does your stereo-set change frequencies on demand (I don't think that's very common)? It probably just shows the additional data broadcasted, such as the name of the radio station and such...

  2. Re:Wow. on Chernobyl Reactor Restarted, Claimed Safe for Y2K · · Score: 1

    I agree...

    The area around the reactor that had the meltdown can't possibly be ok to be in on a regular basis.

    I think the problem maybe be that if they don't start that reactor people in the cities (and other places where the houses doesn't have stoves (or similar) will freeze to death... And therefore they think it's worth it...

  3. Re:Does Corel provide sources in a physical medium on Corel Linux Only For 18 and Up · · Score: 1
    Quoted from corels website:

    You pay only US$4.95 for Corel® LINUX® OS on two CDs:

    Open Circulation CD which carries the same files as the download version
    Source Code CD which carries the source code on CD or not


    Now I would definitely THINK that both of those CDs are under the same license...
    And I didn't find any information on wether it's possible to get only the source CD.

  4. Definitions on How do you Define "Operating System"? · · Score: 2
    I agree with those who say that GUI, applications and such are not to be considered part of the actual operating system...

    here are a two definitions of what an operating system actually is:

    whatis.com's definition of an operating system

    foldoc's definition of an operating system

  5. Re:Definitions WRONG ARTICLE on Top 500 Supercomputers · · Score: 1

  7. Re:what next on Two Spammers Murdered in New Jersey · · Score: 1

    I think there's a BIG difference there,

    On slashdot you can have a discussion with the other person while the spammer hides behind a faked email address...

    Or if it would happen to be the real email address you just make a BIG mistake if you reply to the email!

  8. Re:aww on 1999 Nobel Science Prizes Announced · · Score: 1
    Uh... you didn't get that quite right, because if he'd get the Nobel Prize for peace he should actually be sent to Oslo...

    (See http://www.nobel.se/awarding/)

  9. Paying bills online a new invention? on Canadian Post Office Moves Online in a Big Way · · Score: 1

    Hasn't paying bills online been possible for a long time?

    At least in Sweden... =)
